Online Auction 2020, the Results are in!

Party For A Cure is excited to announce that we raised nearly $48,000 during our online auction this year. Thank you to all of those who donated in support of Maryland families living with neuromuscular diseases. Our goal for 2020 is to complete a special project to benefit the Eggers Family. Bobbi Jo and Ray Eggers have two children, both of whom have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a severe type of muscular disease. They promised to take in another young man, Leroy, age 19, who has the disease, too. His mother is fighting an endless battle with cancer. Leroy is good friend with the Eggers’ children. The additional space is needed to create room for Leroy. The Eggers Family is in need of a 630 SF addition to their home to accommodate the needs of their children. The estimated cost for this project is $80,000. To learn more about the project and the Eggers Family, or to make a donation, please visit https://pfac-md.org/campaigns/the-egger-family/.
